Artist of the Week: Lee Meszaros

A Merit Badge for Knocking Socks Off

I must be having a Canadian moment. This week's AOTW spotlight is shining down on Lee Meszaros, a textile artist who hails from Paris, Ontario. Her clever merit badges for adults are silkscreened, hand-painted, and embroidered to help you commemorate all sorts of accomplishments and cheeky milestones.

For Pushing the Envelope

For Being Birds of a Feather and Flocking Together

For Being Drunk as a Skunk

For Being the Best Things Since Sliced Bread

For Quitting Cold Turkey

For Being a Black Sheep

For Being Sweet as Pie

If they were giving out these badges in my Brownie troop days, you can bet my sash would have been poppin' off. Lee's badges sell for $25 each in her Etsy shop and can be purchased here.
